Think they'll make 666?  

I do think so....It's all about money for Harley.....

[semperfi81]

Called the dealership in Tucson, AZ and the salesmen stated " only 1 black ultra CVO available" number 551 of 999 will run $46,500.00 before taxes,tilte and prep... It's available....

I believe that's the highest number thus far.........??

Possible they're confused and think it's "one of a kind"? 

Ridiculous to think that ANYONE would pay that price!!!

That is the nice part of the touring chassis, this is my third 06, 09, and now an 2010. The change in the new chassis in 09 are great compared to my 06.

I am hoping that lowering the bike and putting a deeper , more narrow seat will help me with the "top heavy" issue. Someone here (do not remember who it was) talked about "motorcycle armour". They were not speaking about body armour, but something to put on the bike. What is that , and what is the website for viewing the suggested video? Does anyone know?  On the "Ride Like A Pro" website there is a link for black guards for the engine guards.....not expensive...like 24.95. That will help if I drop the bike in slow manuevering.  Anyone have other suggestions?

Ft Meyers Florida has #12 bike. That is the lowest number I've heard. They are trying to sell it with a 10K premium. Their reasoning is that the bikes 1-20 are worth more that the other higher numbers. Huh???

Ft Myers always does...have some reason...For me in 08 looking at 09's it was "we put a premium on for a few weeks then go to the msrp".  Ok?

Hi Debbie,
You have some courage to order the most expensive and most heavy Harley after being only four months on a bike! I hope all goes well for you.
As for Motorcycle Armour, click here: http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=42620.0 . However I am afraid it won't help you much besides protecting some areas of the bike against normal wear and tear.
Now here is the good news: The BLK gets delivered with the new saddle which makes for almost two inches lower seat height. If you have tried an earlier bike, you'll be pleasantly surprised. If this helps you to put your feet firmly on the ground at a stop, then do not lower the bike any further. You reduce your lean angle, and reduce comfort. There are third party solutions to change front and rear shocks, but the good ones are rather expensive and mostly not designed to lower the bike.
Just in case the seat height with the new saddle is still to high, you could consider different seats from H-D or other manufacturers. You'll most probably loose the heat options in exchange for further lowered seat height.
Finally, when you drop the bike (and we all hope it's not happening) the stock crash bars should provide good protection, but you should also have a plan to get the bike upright again ;-) - That is were your Ride-like-a-pro comes in.
The saying goes that there are two kinds of E-Glide riders: Those who have dropped their bike, and those who will drop their bike.

Ride safely,
Louis

The Black gaurds from Ride like a pro I feel are an absolute must for you. This is what they are for, they protect the finish on your stock crash bars so that a simple drop wont be so espensive. If you need to lower the bike an inch or so no biggie. You will still have plenty on clearence to ride safely. Just use high quality components I would strongly suggest Traxxion dynamics for the front. They sell a great rear shock as well. The bike wont compress and dive as much as with the stock suspension and will feel more stable overall. This isn't a cheap upgrade but to protect your body,the bike,and get a far better suspension it's worth it. They can be found in the vendor section. You referanced Fort Meyers in a prior post, If your close to there I believe Ride Like A Pro has classes close to your area if you haven't already I would say take the class. It really does make a diferance in your bike handling abilities. Good luck and congrats. Post a pic of your new toy when you get it.

Just visited Texas Harley Davidson Bedford Texas, on the floor was the Black CVO not sold for 41,500.00 called a friend of mine who was looking for one. I'm here to tell you all he purchased number 670 of 999 today. They decided not to pre-sale, the saleman told me the Fort Worth Harley dealer sold theres for 10,000 over MSRP. The interesting part is they have had several dealers call them wanting to by the bike for the 41,500.

Mine shipped May 7th to Denney's HD Springfield MO, not sure the number but will let you know when i pick it up, most likely May 22nd

That guy is crazy to pay $41,500.00. The dealership's just keep getting richer and richer.........

Understand but that is what he wanted, I only supplied him the information, by the way I paid MSRP.

I also understand and that is way I turned down the 1st black CVO at Arrowhead Harley ($41,999.00) and picked one up at another dealership in Phoenix, I must wait until June 3rd but I will not give a dealership 1 penny over MSRP.
